Professional golfers Anura Rohana and Calitha Pushpika both finished tied for the top position at the July National Golf Ranking Championship, at the Victoria Golf Resort (VGR).
Brilliant youngster Haroon Aslam secured the third position with a score of 153. Haroon’s impressive performance so far sets the stage for an exciting battle in the coming days. With only two strokes unravelling him from the leaders, Haroon is well within outstanding distance, and it will be fascinating to see if he can make his move to the top of the leaderboard. His exposure in the USA, and recently playing in Indonesia, is likely to take the player in his home course.
Priya Hemantha, who was in the top three, experienced a slight setback, finishing with a gross score of 154. This placed Hemantha in fourth position, just ahead of another strong contender, who is now in fifth place with a score of 155. Kumara, the leader on day one, dropped down to fifth place after an ordinary day two he faced.
The next two days of play promise to be fascinating, as the competition remains fierce. The battle looks between Anura, Chalitha, and Haroon for the top spot.
